Does the charging port feel loose when you plug a charging cable in?
Inspect the charging port with a flashlight and look at the lightning connector pins. There should be 5 present there and not one missing. If there is one missing you will definitely need to replace the port.
If the lightning connector doesn't seem to push in the connector fully (gap between plastic of plug and metal housing of iPad) then the connector needs to be cleaned with tweezers or something similar, just make sure you don't bend the pins left / right when cleaning (best to avoid touching them anyway).

Edit: I think on this model the lightning charging port assembly is actually soldered to the board making it very hard to replace. A soldering iron is required in order to do so.
