Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics in Harpenden, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Harpenden customers choose us

- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Toilet chip repair in Harpenden without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Harpenden: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Harpenden?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Harpenden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
What affects the price in Harpenden
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Harpenden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harpenden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Harpenden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Harpenden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
