Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Downside
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KT11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Downside
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Downside?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
