Toilet chip repair for Lewth homes

Toilet chip repair at your home in Lewth

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Lewth

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

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)

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

Materials we work on in Lewth

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes an hour or two. 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Lewth. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
