DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can help, on doors & door panels, white uPVC and window frames & sills alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Advice
What affects the price in Short Heath
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
