What affects the price in Bottisham
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Bottisham
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
