Toilet chip repair near Marlpit Hill

Toilet chip repair in Marlpit Hill, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Marlpit Hill

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

FAQs for Marlpit Hill

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What about a leaking crack?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, 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)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Marlpit Hill

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Marlpit Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Marlpit Hill and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
