Toilet & ceramic chip repair in St Nicholas, Hertfordshire

- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair in St Nicholas without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in St Nicholas get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
