The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PE28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Sawtry, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Sawtry
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Sawtry
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Sawtry
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Sawtry?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sawtry from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
