Toilet chip repair in Sandwith without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sandwith and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Sandwith
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’re asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before booking
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Typically one visit, start to finish
