How we handle toilet chip repair in Whitehaven
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Whitehaven
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
