How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
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 we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cardrona as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cardrona. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
