Toilet chip repair in Shobley

Toilet chip repair in Shobley without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. 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 needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shobley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Shobley customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shobley. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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.

When to call us in Shobley

Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Shobley: your questions answered

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
