About our toilet chip repair in Longthorpe

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Longthorpe?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

Longthorpe questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Peterborough.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Longthorpe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Longthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Longthorpe

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Longthorpe

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Longthorpe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
