If I have caused damage to the property can I make a housing disrepair claim?

No, if the fault or repair need that you have reported is a result of your negligence or your unreasonable behaviour, then the landlord is not liable to resolve this issue. The landlord may choose to carry out the repair but they are entitled to charge you for it. This should be stipulated in your tenancy agreement, because both the landlord and the tenant have a duty to maintain the property through reasonable behaviour.
