About our toilet chip repair in Polzeath

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

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

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

FAQs for Polzeath

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you work in Polzeath?

We do. Technicians travel to Polzeath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What affects the price in Polzeath

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

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

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A crack through the bowl or trap
