About our toilet chip repair in Haverigg
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Haverigg
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Haverigg, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry

What information do you need?
