Toilet chip repair at your home in Chettisham
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Chettisham
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Chettisham?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chettisham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Chettisham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chettisham
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Chettisham
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
