Toilet chip repair in Buntingford without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Buntingford
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
