What affects the price in Cumberland
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Cumberland, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Cumberland
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cumberland and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Questions from Cumberland
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Across the UK, and that includes Cumberland. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Cumberland?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
