About our toilet chip repair in Westmill
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Westmill: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Westmill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westmill and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.

- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westmill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westmill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Westmill
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Westmill. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
