How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare

How we handle toilet chip repair in Grovehill
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Grovehill questions
Do you come to Grovehill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Grovehill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Grovehill?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grovehill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Grovehill. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
