Toilet chip repair in Arle, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
For a price in Arle, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Arle
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Arle
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Arle
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
