Toilet chip repair in Gilcrux without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gilcrux and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gilcrux. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilcrux
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Gilcrux
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Clients typically contact us about:

- Damage from dropped items
