Toilet chip repair in Flimby, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Flimby. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Flimby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Flimby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Flimby
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Flimby and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Flimby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Flimby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive

What else we do in Flimby
Repairing versus replacing in Flimby
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our full price list.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
