Toilet chip repair near Melton

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Melton

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

Toilet chip repair in Melton without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Melton

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire toilet
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
