Toilet chip repair at your home in Moorhouse
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Moorhouse
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Moorhouse. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Moorhouse
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Moorhouse use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
