Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shortgate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Shortgate?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
