Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Rope, Cheshire East
Our repair technicians come to Rope for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Toilet chip repair in Rope without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire East. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
