Advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Markyate
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Markyate
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Markyate?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Markyate and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AL3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Markyate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
