Toilet Chip Repair for Rackwick homes
We travel to Rackwick for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Toilet chip repair at your home in Rackwick
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rackwick and across the Orkney Islands. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Rackwick
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Rackwick is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Rackwick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
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 quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Rackwick
