  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

What affects the price in Doctor Lane Head

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Doctor Lane Head. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Doctor Lane Head, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • Conservatory frames

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doctor Lane Head as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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 usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
