Toilet chip repair in Melplash

Toilet chip repair in Melplash without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Repair or replace in Melplash?

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Melplash

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Damage from dropped items
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melplash

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Melplash

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Melplash. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
