Toilet chip repair at your home in Longdowns
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Longdowns. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Repairing versus replacing in Longdowns
