About our toilet chip repair in Upper Eastwood

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Upper Eastwood

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Upper Eastwood, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
