About our toilet chip repair in Grateley

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Before and after: a damaged toilet pan restored by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 normally cheaper.

Grateley: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

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

Do you come to Grateley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Grateley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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.

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Grateley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
