How we handle toilet chip repair in Marsh Benham

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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Marsh Benham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Marsh Benham questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • Chips on the pan or rim

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
