PVC lost from hinges - help
[Deleted User]
Posts: 0 Newbie
5 years ago my poor Mum was conned into buying a Sunroom from a pair of cowboys. The company went into liquidation 2 years later (I've since learned this was a regular occurrence for the owners, who, every few years, simply dissolve one company and then set up another similar one). One of the double glazing units failed just after it disappeared - so she had to pay to have it replaced.
Now (5 years later) 2 of the external hinges of the outside door have lost their PVC coating and the composite material underneath is now visible. It just looks grotty. Does anyone know - is it possible to replace the PVC coating on these? Or is paint my only option (which I suspect will look like a botched job)?
Thanks.

What about vinyl wrap like they do on cars which might last better the 'fablon' type stuff? I'm sure a sample size or two from ebay would be enough0

Wow - thanks for this. Will just need to measure them. Looks like we need a couple of flag hinges. Will contact them tomorrow (fingers crossed, as I've no idea what make the ones we're replacing are).
Cheers.0
