Toilet chip repair in Longlands, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Longlands questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, 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
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Longlands
Landlords, agents and businesses in Longlands
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
