For anyone letting property in or around Mellor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

About our toilet chip repair in Mellor

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer

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.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain

What affects the price in Mellor

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Mellor questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
