Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our toilet chip repair in Porter's End
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 the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Porter's End
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SG4 postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
