About our toilet chip repair in Bethesda

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Bethesda

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire toilet

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Bethesda

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bethesda

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
