How we handle toilet chip repair in Stenness
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Covering Stenness
Stenness is about 9 miles west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. From the centre of Stenness to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Stenness is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands we cover.
We work across the KW16 postcode area and the streets around it. Neighbouring places we cover include Clouston (1 mile south-west), Grimeston (2 miles north), Germiston (2 miles east), Cairston (2 miles west) and Wasbister (3 miles north-west). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.
Landmarks near Stenness
Typical jobs here are in homes near Stenness Church. Nearby you will also find Stromness Museum (3.8 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Mid Hill and Brodgar RSPB Reserve.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Questions from Stenness
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Advice
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water

When to call us in Stenness
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
Landlord and trade work in Stenness
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
