Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Brough, Shetland Islands
We travel to Brough for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
How we handle toilet chip repair in Brough
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Brough
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Brough and the surrounding area
Brough is in the Shetland Islands. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. We work in 63 places across the Shetland Islands.
Jobs in ZE2 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on Houll and Tripwell and the roads around them.

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Whalsay Parish Church, among other places. The countryside around Brough includes Setter Hill and Loch of Houll.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Brough
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of the Shetland Islands?
Everywhere in the UK, Brough included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Shetland Islands.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When to call us in Brough
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
Comparing quotes
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start 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 Brough customers choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
