How we handle toilet chip repair in Marybank
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 the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Marybank
Do you come to Marybank?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Marybank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
