How we handle toilet chip repair in Sockbridge
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
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.
Common problems we fix in Sockbridge
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What else we do in Sockbridge
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
