Toilet chip repair in Shandwick without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Shandwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. 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
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Shandwick
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
