Toilet chip repair in Pontyates

Toilet chip repair at your home in Pontyates

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Pontyates

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.
