The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Repair or replace in Makeney?

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
