Toilet chip repair at your home in Waberthwaite
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Waberthwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Waberthwaite
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Waberthwaite questions
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you come to Waberthwaite?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Waberthwaite and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Waberthwaite
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waberthwaite as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
