Toilet chip repair at your home in Longbarn
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 will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common problems we fix in Longbarn
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
