Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Hamstreet without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hamstreet. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Hamstreet
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hamstreet
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?
