How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Staveley

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Staveley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
