Toilet chip repair in Tickenham without replacing anything
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 cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Tickenham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Tickenham is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Tickenham?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Tickenham

- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Tickenham
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
