FAQs for Fortis Green

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Fortis Green. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
