Toilet chip repair at your home in Longtown
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Longtown as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common problems we fix in Longtown
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Longtown
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Longtown
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
