When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
How we handle toilet chip repair in Brae
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Brae?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brae as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Brae and the surrounding area
Brae is in the Shetland Islands. Across the ZE2 area, we come to you. Brae is one of 63 towns and villages in the Shetland Islands we cover.
Jobs in ZE2 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Jobs here include addresses on Runafirth, Ladieside and Hevdaland and the roads around them. Neighbouring places we cover include Sullom (3 miles north), Scatsta (3 miles north-east), Voe (4 miles south-east), Firth (6 miles north-east) and Hogaland (7 miles north). Being one of the Shetland Islands’s larger places, Brae is somewhere we visit often. If you’re somewhere remote, call first so we can plan the visit.

For a walk, there’s Houlls Water.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Brae questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
