DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Stanford Rivers get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work

Repair or replace in Stanford Rivers?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Advice
FAQs for Stanford Rivers
Do you work in Stanford Rivers?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
