Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Meal Bank, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
