Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Tingwall, Orkney Islands
Our repair technicians come to Tingwall for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Tingwall
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Tingwall?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Tingwall
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
