I thought I'd done this before but I can't fin it or remember the outcome.
A few years ago I was decorating above the outside of the front door and the ladder slipped and one side of the ladder landed on the uPVC front door, making a cracked/indented area about an inch square. We didn't seem to bothered about it at the time.
Now that people are getting new coloured (presumably composite) doors SWMBO has a renewed interest and we are considering replacing it. However having spent a couple of hours online looking at doors she's decided that she likes ours more than any we've seen so we should look at getting someone to fix it.
Is this possible? I realise the panels pop out, and if it were a small panel this might be do-able, but I doubt they could realistically replace the whole panel with the broken bit as it is the whole of the front door including the glazing. So what it would need is an invisible repair. (I suppose the answer will be to ask a specialist but I expect they'll all want to sell me a new door)
I have just bought some PVC strip for another job so I'll compare to see if the existing door and frame have discoloured too badly.
We do have a chappie coming tomorrow to quote for a new front door, with glazed panels each side. I'm expecting something around £3k - does that sound about right?
