Toilet chip repair in Slack Head, 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 marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Slack Head and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

More services for Slack Head
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Slack Head
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Slack Head and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you work in Slack Head?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Slack Head from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Slack Head. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
