Toilet chip repair in Sandridge without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans

Sandridge: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hertfordshire.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Sandridge’s nearest station is St Albans station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sandridge. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sandridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Sandridge, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
