Toilet chip repair in Smallford, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your AL4 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
