Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Apsley End

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SG5 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Apsley End

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Apsley End

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills

Before booking anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
