What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Toilet chip repair in Cessnock without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cessnock and across Glasgow. 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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Cessnock: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens next?

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

Do you cover Cessnock?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Cessnock and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • 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 jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Cessnock

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
