Toilet chip repair at your home in Norseman
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Norseman and the surrounding area
Norseman is about 7 miles north-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. We work in all 51 towns and villages across the Orkney Islands.
Here we cover the KW17 postcode area. Nearby, we also work in Isbister (1 mile east), Settiscarth (1 mile west), Gorseness (2 miles north-east), Tingwall (3 miles north-east) and Finstown (3 miles south). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.
Around Norseman
A little further out are Corrigall Farm Museum (3.4 miles west) and Langskaill House (4.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Ward of Redland and Loch of Brockan.
What we are called out for in Norseman
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Norseman. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
