Toilet chip repair for Melton Mowbray homes

About our toilet chip repair in Melton Mowbray

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Melton Mowbray as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Melton Mowbray?

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Melton Mowbray clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

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

What affects the price in Melton Mowbray

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
