St Mary's: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in St Mary's?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your KW17 postcode.
Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?
We cover the whole UK, including St Mary's and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Toilet chip repair at your home in St Mary's
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Mary's. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Orkney Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in St Mary's
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
