Cricklade questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Cricklade?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cricklade from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Toilet chip repair in Cricklade without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cricklade, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
