Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Toab
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Toab and across the Orkney Islands. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Toab
For anyone letting property in or around Toab, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Toab. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Toab
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Toab included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Toab from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?

Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
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. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Toab. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Toab clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- Nothing taken out or refitted
