Landlord and trade work in Melness
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Toilet chip repair in Melness, done in place
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 the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Melness. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Melness: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Melness
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means 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. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
