Toilet Chip Repair in Hadlow

Toilet chip repair at your home in Hadlow
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 tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Hadlow: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Hadlow included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hadlow

See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
