How we handle toilet chip repair in Burray Village
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burray Village and across the Orkney Islands. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Burray Village
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?
Everywhere in the UK, Burray Village included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Burray Village.

What else we do in Burray Village
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
