Your questions about toilet chip repair in Scalloway
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Scalloway?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
About our toilet chip repair in Scalloway
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. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Shetland Islands. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Scalloway and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, 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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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 normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
