How we handle toilet chip repair in Welwyn
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Welwyn
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you cover Welwyn?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Welwyn and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we are called out for in Welwyn

- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Welwyn. The price reflects:

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
