Toilet chip repair for Marton homes

Toilet chip repair in Marton without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Marton questions

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Marton

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material 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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
