Toilet chip repair at your home in Mellor Brook

A crack that leaks can’t 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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Mellor Brook

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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 the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Mellor Brook

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china

Mellor Brook: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Mellor Brook?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
