The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

About our toilet chip repair in Longstone
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When to call us in Longstone
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Longstone get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
