Toilet chip repair at your home in Minstead
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 the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Minstead: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Minstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Minstead and the rest of Hampshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Minstead?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
Across the UK, so Minstead is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Minstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Minstead
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
