What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Toilet chip repair in Mellor without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Mellor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Mellor customers choose us
- One price list for the entire UK
- One visit for most repairs
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Mellor
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?
Across the UK, so Mellor is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mellor.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Mellor
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Mellor, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
