Toilet chip repair for Lambley homes

About our toilet chip repair in Lambley

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Lambley

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Lambley: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Nottinghamshire.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What affects the price in Lambley

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lambley. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Lambley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lambley

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
