Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Gazeley, Cambridgeshire

- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About our toilet chip repair in Gazeley
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gazeley
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Gazeley: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gazeley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gazeley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Gazeley
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
