Armathwaite questions
Are there extra charges for Armathwaite?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
About our toilet chip repair in Armathwaite
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
