Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llanbedr as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Toilet chip repair in Llanbedr, done in place
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 will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Llanbedr questions
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Llanbedr, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
