  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TN3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for The Platt

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Landlord and trade work in The Platt

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Platt use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
