Toilet chip repair at your home in Bassenthwaite
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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’s what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Bassenthwaite: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repairing versus replacing in Bassenthwaite
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Bassenthwaite customers choose us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What affects the price in Bassenthwaite
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Bassenthwaite
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
