How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dudley. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
About our toilet chip repair in Dudley
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 will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Dudley questions
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Dudley?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dudley and the rest of Northumberland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
When to call us in Dudley

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Dudley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow one to two hours.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Repairing versus replacing in Dudley
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Dudley

- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
