About our toilet chip repair in South Marston
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

South Marston questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Porcelain
- Toilet pans

What affects the price in South Marston
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to South Marston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for South Marston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
