How we handle toilet chip repair in Marston

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Marston. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Repair or replace in Marston?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Marston: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Across the UK, so Marston is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you come to Marston?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Marston and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
