Repairs to scratches on powder coated aluminium

Featured Replies

Hello all

 

I recall seeing a reference to a company who can deal with scratches on powder coated aluminium window frames and doors.......inevitably I am going to need their services shortly but I can’t find the detail anywhere.

 

Can someone point me at these miracle workers.

 

Thanks

 

 

Magic Man or Plastic Surgeon, similar service from each.

I've used my local MagicMan with great results - we had a few nasty chips to a matt resin / stone bath and a large crack to a gloss sink (similar material). Both invisibly repaired. 

 

While he was here, I had him touch up the oak veneer on a door (joiner's chisel had slipped) and a small scratch to a wood effect foil covered alu door.

 

They seem to largely charge by the visit so I'd wait until you're done, no more damage is imminent and itemise all the jobs.

 

We also had a few deep scratches to an external alu frame plus a large blob of GRP topcoat that needed repair my window fitter got a guy out who did car resprays -  he filled the scratches (2 part filler) sanded it down and resprayed - we had a small can of repair paint from the window firm but if it's a standard RAL they should be able to source. Looked perfect also.

 

When I used to have a lot of ppc done back in the day,  (Syntha Pulvin was the name of choice) they would always supply tins of touch up paint and touch up "sticks".

I have been asking in vain......I keep getting told they will sort some out but they never arrive, suspect they never will!
