Swindon Rendering repairs damaged pebbledash on homes across Swindon — cracked panels, blown patches, and dash knocked off around windows, corners and drainpipes. If you want to keep your pebbledash rather than replace it, a proper repair stops water getting behind the coat and spreading the damage.
The craft in dash repair is matching: the render mix, the aggregate size and colour, and the throw pattern all have to sit comfortably against sixty-year-old weathered dash, or the patch shouts.
Pebbledash problems we repair
Blown and hollow panels
Dash that sounds hollow when tapped has separated from the wall — cut back to sound edges and re-dashed before frost lifts it off.
Cracks and impact damage
Movement cracks and knocks from ladders, trellis and cars — cut out, filled and re-dashed with matched aggregate.
Damage around openings
Failed dash at window reveals, sills and door frames — the most common water-entry points on dashed homes.
Previous bad repairs
Smooth cement patches on a dashed wall never look right — we cut them out and re-dash to match the field.
Repair cost — and when repair stops making sense
Small dash repairs in Swindon typically run £250–£600; larger areas £600–£1,500 depending on access and matching. As a rule of thumb, once more than about a quarter of an elevation has failed, re-rendering that elevation costs little more than patching it — and looks better for decades longer. We quote both when it's close.
Weathered dash also never matches a fresh patch perfectly — new aggregate is cleaner and the cement brighter. We tone patches down, but on prominent front elevations some owners choose this moment to remove the dash entirely and switch to a smooth modern render.
