Toilet & ceramic chip repair in West End, Hertfordshire

- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair in West End, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in West End?
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 leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from West End
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
