Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Oadby. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
Repair or replace in Oadby?
