Landlord and trade work in Ellisfield
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Ellisfield
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 booking.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Ellisfield
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Ellisfield: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG25 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ellisfield.
Do you come to Ellisfield?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ellisfield and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
