Toilet chip repair in Longstock, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Longstock
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
FAQs for Longstock
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
