Toilet chip repair at your home in Gorseness
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Gorseness: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Gorseness?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Gorseness and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Gorseness
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorseness use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Gorseness?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Gorseness
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
