What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hintlesham. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hintlesham, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
