About our toilet chip repair in Broad Colney

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Broad Colney

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Broad Colney. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
