Paradise questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Paradise?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What areas do you cover?

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
About our toilet chip repair in Paradise
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Paradise and across Cumbria. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Paradise. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Paradise
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Paradise, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
