Toilet chip repair for Epsom homes

About our toilet chip repair in Epsom

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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Epsom?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Epsom

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

Landlord and trade work in Epsom

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Epsom as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Honest limits

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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Epsom

What affects the price in Epsom

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Epsom. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Epsom get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Epsom

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

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 quote.
