How we handle toilet chip repair in High Kelling

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

What we are called out for in High Kelling

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Repairing versus replacing in High Kelling

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in High Kelling

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Pedestals
  • Vitreous china
  • Porcelain

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

High Kelling questions

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
