FAQs for Northstowe
Do you work in Northstowe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Northstowe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Toilet chip repair in Northstowe without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we are called out for in Northstowe
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
