Toilet chip repair at your home in Tywyn
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Tywyn
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Gwynedd?
We cover the entire UK, including Tywyn and the rest of Gwynedd. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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 before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids

What affects the price in Tywyn
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Tywyn. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tywyn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Postcode districts we cover here: LL36. You’ll find streets such as High Street, Station Road and Corbet Square, all of which we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
