When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Toilet chip repair in Snailwell, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Snailwell
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Snailwell. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Snailwell questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Snailwell and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
