- Damage from dropped items

How we handle toilet chip repair in Woodthorpe
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t 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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Woodthorpe. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Woodthorpe
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Woodthorpe
- Colour-matched on site
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Woodthorpe
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Woodthorpe.
Are there extra charges for Woodthorpe?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you come to Woodthorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Woodthorpe and the rest of Sheffield. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

All of Sheffield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Landlord and trade work in Woodthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sheffield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
