Toilet chip repair in Applethwaite, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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 will say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Applethwaite and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Applethwaite
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you come to Applethwaite?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Applethwaite from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Applethwaite
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When to call us in Applethwaite
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Common reasons people in Applethwaite contact us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Applethwaite, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
