What affects the price in Melton
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Melton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first

- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Melton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Your postcode, so we can check dates

About our toilet chip repair in Melton
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 are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Common questions in Melton
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Melton and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
