- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in High Handenhold get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. 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 you know the cost before you book.

- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
