Toilet chip repair in Longham without replacing anything

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 the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Longham

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NR19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
