Down Field: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
The whole UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Down Field
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
