How we handle toilet chip repair in Port Marine

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Port Marine. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BS20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Port Marine

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Port Marine. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Port Marine customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Common questions in Port Marine

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you come to Port Marine?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Port Marine for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Port Marine?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
