How we handle toilet chip repair in Lerwick
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Lerwick
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Lerwick?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lerwick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lerwick
If you manage property in Lerwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china

Here we cover the ZE1 postcode area. Streets in the area include High Street, Market Street and Church Road, and we cover them all. Lerwick is on the A969 and A970, so it’s easy for us to reach. Close by, we cover Sound (1 mile south-west), Gremista (1 mile north), Heogan (1 mile north-east), Grindiscol (2 miles south-east) and Gunnista (2 miles north-east). Being one of the Shetland Islands’s larger places, Lerwick sees plenty of our work. Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lerwick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
