Repairing versus replacing in Achintee

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Achintee as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Achintee questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Achintee. Prices don’t change with location.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
