Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Botcherby
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Botcherby and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Botcherby
Do you work in Botcherby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Botcherby and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Botcherby?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not 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.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
