How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Chipping
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chipping use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
