About our toilet chip repair in Cowlinge
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cowlinge and across Cambridgeshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowlinge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Cowlinge, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Cowlinge questions
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
