About our toilet chip repair in Lyness
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Lyness questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Lyness?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lyness and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Our work in Lyness
Lyness is about 13 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Across the KW16 area, we carry out the work at your property. We cover 51 places in the Orkney Islands, from the larger towns to small villages.
Jobs in KW16 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Main roads around Lyness include the B9048, which makes travel easy. If you are just outside Lyness, we cover Longhope (2 miles south), Midland (6 miles north), Hoy (7 miles north-west), Orphir (7 miles north) and Clestrain (7 miles north). For island and remote addresses, ring us first and we’ll plan the trip.
Around Lyness
Typical jobs here are in homes near Hoy and the streets around them. A little further out are Scapa Flow Museum (within half a mile north-east). For a walk, there’s Binga Fea and Loch of Greenhill.
What affects the price in Lyness
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lyness, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Lyness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What else we do in Lyness
How the visit 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 normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Lyness
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lyness. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Lyness
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
