About our toilet chip repair in Mansewood

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mansewood and across Glasgow. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Mansewood

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for 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. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Mansewood

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
