About our toilet chip repair in Melmerby
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

Repairing versus replacing in Melmerby
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
