Bring tired aluminium frames back to life
Chalky patches, corrosion and faded colour on aluminium joinery can reduce kerb appeal and property value, especially in coastal areas or strong sunlight. Aluminium joinery restoration targets these issues directly, with window frames, doors, garage doors, gutters and balustrades treated on site and usually completed in a day.
There is no need to remove the joinery or mask the entire house for days, and scaffolding is not required for most homes. Once restored, the joinery only needs normal cleaning. A five-year written guarantee is provided, and the coating is expected to last 10 years or more. To learn more about Protect Shield’s story and approach, visit the About page.

Five-step restoration process in your aluminium joinery repair

Step by step

Step by step
- Surfaces are cleaned to remove dirt and build-up
- Aluminium is lightly sanded
- Oxidisation remover strips away the chalky residue
- Surfaces are neutralised to return them to a stable base
- Two coats of UV-resistant, water-based finish lock in colour and protect against the elements

Frames with chalking, white residue and light surface breakdown are often well suited to aluminium joinery restoration. Around nine out of 10 powder coated frames can be restored to a finish that blends well with the rest of your joinery, avoiding the cost and disruption of replacement.
Restoration outcomes: - Restoration typically costs around 70 per cent less than new joinery - Kerb appeal improves and frames present better for sale - No major building work or lengthy project timeframes
Restoration is often chosen for properties being prepared for sale and homes where appearance matters. For pricing, see aluminium restoration cost options.

UV protection built for New Zealand
The coating is water based, non-toxic and free from harsh chemicals. It is designed to withstand New Zealand sun, salt air and humidity. Some imported coatings can begin peeling after only a few years in high-UV conditions.
This system has a proven 15-year-plus record in Australia, and Protect Shield is the only local supplier, so it is not available at hardware stores.
What to expect: - Helps resist fading and chalking for longer - Water-based formula with no harsh chemicals used in the process - Strong bond to the original surface for durable colour
Once restored, ongoing maintenance is limited to normal washing. A five-year written guarantee applies, and the finish typically lasts 10 years or more. See more about our guarantee and maintenance.

Restoration for homes and commercial properties
Aluminium joinery restoration is suitable for homes, multi-unit properties, retirement villages and light commercial aluminium frame projects. Work can be scheduled around your site requirements, including outside normal hours if needed. Licensed applicators complete each job, taking local conditions and building type into account, with health and safety included in the planning process.
Pricing is clear from the outset, with ‘from’ rates for homes and fixed quotes provided after inspection, so you know exactly where you stand. If a frame is too far gone to restore, this will be identified during the inspection. If anything does not look right after completion, Protect Shield will return and sort it.
Once finished, the joinery requires only regular cleaning, with no special maintenance. This approach turns what many property owners assume will require full replacement into a practical restoration service.

Frames that are faded, chalky, stained or lightly corroded but still structurally sound are usually good candidates. During inspection, joinery is checked for deep pitting, hardware damage and major deterioration. Heavily damaged frames may need repair or replacement.
Powder coated frames are treated directly, with work kept to the aluminium joinery itself. Proper preparation helps the new coating bond well and brings the finish back into line with nearby frames.
For badly faded joinery, an exact colour match may not be possible but a clear improvement is normal.
Repair involves fixing hardware, seals or physical knocks. Refurbishment focuses on restoring the look by removing oxidisation then adding protection. The best option for your frames is explained at inspection.
Most restoration jobs are completed in a day. Access for windows and doors is arranged beforehand and in most cases you can stay home while the work is completed.
Pricing depends on the amount of joinery, the level of oxidisation, access or height requirements and any extra preparation needed. Colour and finish choices can also play a part. A fixed quote is provided after inspection so costs are clear before work starts.
