Toilet chip repair at your home in Melon Green
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Melon Green
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Melon Green?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Melon Green from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
