How it works

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Toilet chip repair at your home in Crooklands
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Crooklands
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Crooklands and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Crooklands, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Crooklands. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Crooklands, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
