- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Advice
About our toilet chip repair in St Stephens
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Stephens as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

St Stephens: your questions answered
Do you come to St Stephens?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to St Stephens and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes St Stephens. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I fix it myself?
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 photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Stephens. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you are in St Stephens and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
