Toilet chip repair in Cranfield, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cranfield. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cranfield
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Cranfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
