How we handle toilet chip repair in Stank
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 is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Other services in Stank
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Stank and the surrounding area
Stank is about 2 miles east of Barrow-in-Furness, in Cumbria. Jobs in Stank are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. Stank is one of 438 towns and villages in Cumbria where we work. Our jobs stretch from Stank to Liverpool (about 51 miles away).
All of LA13 is within our area. Neighbouring places we cover include Newton (1 mile north), Dendron (1 mile east), Leece (1 mile south-east), Gleaston (1 mile east) and Downfield (1 mile south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ulverston (6 miles north-east), Vickerstown (4 miles west), Millom (7 miles north-west), Grange-over-Sands (11 miles north-east), Askam in Furness (5 miles north) and Barrow Island (3 miles south-west).

Our customers here include homes close to Crofters Public House, Church of St Matthew and Yarlside Academy. Nearby too are Barrow-in-Furness Sixth Form College (1.1 miles west) and Barrow Park (1.8 miles west). The nearest railway station is Roose station, roughly 1 mile south-west.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
