Toilet chip repair in Melling without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Melling?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Melling, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Melling

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Melling
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Melling
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: 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 price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
