Toilet chip repair in Mountnessing

About our toilet chip repair in Mountnessing

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Before and after: a damaged toilet pan restored by Surface Doctor

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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 Mountnessing. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What affects the price in Mountnessing

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Mountnessing. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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 typically cheaper.

Mountnessing: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

  • Marks on the outside of the pan

What to look for in a quote

What a repair can’t fix

  • A crack that leaks water

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
