Toilet chip repair in Bocking without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
See our full price list.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Bocking questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Common problems we fix in Bocking
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
