DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our toilet chip repair in Herodsfoot
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans alike.
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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Herodsfoot
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Herodsfoot
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
