Toilet chip repair near Dayhouse Bank

When a repair isn’t the answer

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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

About our toilet chip repair in Dayhouse Bank

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. 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. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Dayhouse Bank

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What about a leaking crack?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Dayhouse Bank

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Dayhouse Bank

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Dayhouse Bank

Landlord and trade work in Dayhouse Bank

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.

  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 colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
