About our toilet chip repair in Glassonby
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. 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 pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Glassonby customers choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What a repair can’t fix
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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Glassonby
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Glassonby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Glassonby. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole toilet
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Glassonby
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
