Common questions in Girton
Do you cover Girton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Girton and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Toilet chip repair in Girton, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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’s what we find. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Girton
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Girton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
