Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Mellis, Suffolk

- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Mellis
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 say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mellis, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Mellis
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means 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 fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- Rooms protected and left tidy
