Toilet chip repair in Longton, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace in Longton?
A new 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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlord and trade work in Longton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Longton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
