If you have an android smartphone you can download google home to that and set up the Chromecast via the bluetooth connection. Not sure about an iphone but it runs okay from an ipad.

Witch Hat in Milton Keynes could fix it for you if they are nearer to you - they're on 0330 660 0402. Worth a call to see what they would charge.
