About our toilet chip repair in Chorleywood West
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chorleywood West. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chorleywood West as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. 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.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
