Landlords, agents and businesses in St Martin
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we handle toilet chip repair in St Martin
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
If you are in St Martin and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in St Martin
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for St Martin
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for St Martin?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
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.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
