How we handle toilet chip repair in Cleeve

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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cleeve as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cleeve. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Cleeve: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Cleeve?

We do. Technicians travel to Cleeve from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you cover the whole of North Somerset?

All of North Somerset, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cleeve

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cleeve

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Cleeve

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
