Toilet chip repair at your home in Bickingcott

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Before and after: a damaged toilet pan restored by Surface Doctor

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bickingcott use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Bickingcott?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we cannot put right

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)

FAQs for Bickingcott

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bickingcott. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
