About our toilet chip repair in Etterby
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Etterby and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Etterby
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are there extra charges for Etterby?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What else we do in Etterby
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
