Upvd door damage repair ideas?
Lovely people, I know some out there ideas for patching this up cheaply as it's not a separate panel so alternative is to replace the whole door which is £££!
This is the outside pic - got damaged where a precious tenant tried to install an unauthorised cat flap 🙄
The inside is perfect so I prefer not to remove the cat flap if possible.
I thought perhaps a thin sheet of plastic cut around the cat flap to sit over the front and then I could get some sort of trim to cover the top?
What sort of plastic would work with a satin quite pvc door that's easy to cut?
Perspex I can get online but £30 a pop it's usually quite brittle as it's hard so worried I will crack it trying to cut around the cat flap.
P. S I know it won't look perfect but it's a cheap house in a cheap area so just want it to look nicer than it is now. It's outside in the yard so not worth spending hundreds on...
Thank you!

Duties of Good Landlords towards Their Tenants

Comments (25)It seems that the issue is that in its current state the only buyers are the ones that want to make profit and therefore they won't pay much.- if you just want rid and paid lots less than the earlier offers then fine but you will incur costs for selling and so I can't imagine how you would break even. I think you should spend the money to make it saleable and although on the list, carpets are the last thing you should buy and then only when you have done everything else- frankly a buyer will buy a house with no finishing touches as long as they don't have to make big purchases themselves. To have mass market appeal you have to remove any issues and give the new buyers what they want. Check with agents about the type of buyer to expect - and ask the right agent- avoid the one with no experience and ask the one who looks like they are in charge. You need to know who to plan for- for instance some buyers prefer a bath with shower over and some will prefer a big shower, the type of heating may be important, the style and size of kitchen plus how to present the garden( some buyers want a football pitch for kids and some want low maintenance without anything that they could slip on). I suspect you will be told to strip all the paper and redecorate neutrally, replace the kitchen and bathroom, put in central heating (sorry -missed the heating in an earlier comment) upgrade electrics where necessary. This might cost around £10/12k but you should do your research about what else is on the market because if everything is basic quality you might choose to improve the spec for a faster sale. You should also examine the rental potential. Don't worry too much about the car parking- thousands of houses across the U.K. have on street parking only and they sell plus you can't do anything about it....See MoreDamaged gloss foil kitchen cabinet door
