Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Bangor
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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 say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Bangor
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bangor use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
About Bangor
Bangor is in Gwynedd. Whether you are in the middle of Bangor or on the outskirts, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Bangor is one of 165 places in Gwynedd where we work. Our jobs stretch from Bangor to Liverpool (about 51 miles away).
We work across the LL57 postcode area. That includes homes on Station Road, Britannia Square and High Street. Bangor sits on or near the A5 and A487, so getting to you is simple.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Bangor. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans

Repairing versus replacing in Bangor
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bangor. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
