- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare

Related advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Melvich
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in Melvich
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- One visit for most repairs
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Common questions in Melvich
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
