Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
