How we handle toilet chip repair in Shenley
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Shenley
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Shenley and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
