Toilet chip repair at your home in Melrose
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Melrose as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TD6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Melrose, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
