Toilet chip repair across the Shetland Islands: what to expect
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Pricing in the Shetland Islands
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we would advise against a repair
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)
Signs you need toilet chip repair
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in the Shetland Islands and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repair or replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in the Shetland Islands
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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 photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
