About our toilet chip repair in Maypole

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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Maypole and across Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Maypole

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BR6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Maypole: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Are there extra charges for Maypole?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

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

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

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BR6 postcode.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Maypole. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
