Landlord and trade work in Stanley
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Stanley
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Stanley questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
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.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Stanley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Other services in Stanley
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot 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 booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Repairing versus replacing in Stanley
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stanley
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
