Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
About our toilet chip repair in Longford
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Telford and Wrekin. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Longford
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TF10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longford use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Longford?

Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
