Common questions in Cocking
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Cocking?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Toilet chip repair in Cocking, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Cocking and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cocking
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Cocking
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
