Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ambler Thorn. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Ambler Thorn

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

The entire UK, including all of Bradford. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Doors & door panels
  • Conservatory frames
  • White uPVC

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
