Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cummersdale and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Cummersdale questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Cummersdale?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cummersdale for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Repairing versus replacing in Cummersdale
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour-matched on site

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Cummersdale

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Cummersdale
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Cummersdale
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
