Our repair technicians work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and burns on sills.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Preston. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures.
