About our toilet chip repair in Longcot

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans alike.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlord and trade work in Longcot

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

What we’re called out for in Longcot

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Longcot

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Longcot get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Do the materials smell?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
