- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid

Toilet chip repair in Harray, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

Repairing versus replacing in Harray
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Harray
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Harray?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Orkney Islands.
