DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair in Grantchester without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grantchester as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Grantchester questions
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means 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 each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
