Your questions about toilet chip repair in Longbenton
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Longbenton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Longbenton
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Longbenton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Longbenton
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
