Toilet chip repair in Sharpenhoe, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Sharpenhoe questions
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Take a look at our pricing.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sharpenhoe. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your MK45 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
