Toilet chip repair at your home in Broadley Common
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Somewhere like Broadley Common, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. Somewhere like Broadley Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there is no second trip.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Older homes around Broadley Common may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Broadley Common
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Everything repaired in place
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Broadley Common
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
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.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
