Toilet chip repair near Longformacus

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longformacus use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Toilet chip repair in Longformacus without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longformacus. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page.

What affects the price in Longformacus

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
  • Toilet pans

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
