About our toilet chip repair in Hoy
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
Rural addresses like Hoy just need a little planning, and we will organise the visit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hoy and across the Orkney Islands. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: 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 price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Hoy
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. For a rural home like those around Hoy, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Generally one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Hoy
Do you cover villages like Hoy?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Hoy is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 won’t last.
