Landlords, agents and businesses in Hawkshead
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Toilet chip repair in Hawkshead, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hawkshead
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What affects the price in Hawkshead
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
