How we handle toilet chip repair in Crosby Garrett

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Crosby Garrett?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crosby Garrett. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Crosby Garrett

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Crosby Garrett questions

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Crosby Garrett?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
