DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Downfield questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you fix kitchen doors?

Yes. Chips, dents and scuffs are repaired on most door finishes.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole sink or cupboard door, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Doors where the vinyl wrap has lifted across a large area
  • Doors swollen by water
  • Sinks cracked through the base

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Downfield

  • Gloss and matt cupboard doors
  • Vinyl-wrapped doors
  • Cabinet ends & plinths
  • Ceramic Belfast & butler sinks
  • Composite sinks

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Downfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a sink or door may mean disturbing the worktop and plumbing, or hunting for a door that is no longer made. A repair leaves everything in place. Our kitchen sink repair starts from £95. 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and prepare the damaged area.
  2. Next we fill the chips and rebuild any edges.
  3. We shape the repair to match the original.
  4. The colour is matched to the sink or door finish.
  5. We polish or seal the repair.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
