Landlords, agents and businesses in Melbury Sampford
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melbury Sampford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Toilet chip repair in Melbury Sampford, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Melbury Sampford

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens on the day

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
