Calford Green questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

About our toilet chip repair in Calford Green

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Calford Green. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take an hour or two.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Calford Green

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Calford Green

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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.
