Toilet chip repair near Newent

Toilet chip repair at your home in Newent

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

What toilet chip repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Newent

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Marks on the outside of the pan

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Newent

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

For anyone letting property in or around Newent, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Newent

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Newent

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Newent?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newent for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Newent and the rest of Gloucestershire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
