FAQs for West Hendred
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover West Hendred?
We do. Repair technicians travel to West Hendred from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Toilet chip repair in West Hendred, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Hendred use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why choose Surface Doctor in West Hendred
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
