Trusted toilet chip repair in Longhouse

Toilet chip repair in Longhouse 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. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Longhouse and across Bath and North East Somerset. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Longhouse

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Longhouse.

Do you cover the whole of Bath and North East Somerset?

Across the UK, so Longhouse is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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 remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Longhouse

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Repair or replace in Longhouse?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longhouse

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longhouse. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Longhouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price
