About our toilet chip repair in Marybank
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you have chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help.
In a village like Marybank, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Marybank?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send photos and details of the building.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

The whole UK, including all of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Repair or replace in Marybank?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. Older homes around Marybank may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Marybank
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included. In a village or hamlet like Marybank, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 quote.
