How we handle toilet chip repair in Lady
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Lady
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes an hour or two. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Lady
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Everywhere in the UK, Lady included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Repairing versus replacing in Lady
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
