About our toilet chip repair in Shenley
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shenley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shenley as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?
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. 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.

What affects the price in Shenley
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

For a price in Shenley, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
