Toilet chip repair in Langbank, done in place

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Porcelain
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

Questions from Langbank

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the cistern lid

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Langbank

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
