Choosing a repair company

Toilet chip repair at your home in Markland Hill

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Markland Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What affects the price in Markland Hill

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Markland Hill

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
