Toilet chip repair at your home in Longham

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longham as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we are called out for in Longham

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Longham. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairing versus replacing in Longham

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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
