There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What affects the price in Sandness
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sandness. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Sandness get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
