About uPVC repair in Cardiff

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are damage during building work and burns on sills.

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take 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. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

What affects the price in Cardiff

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the damage happens

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place.

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

FAQs for Cardiff

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Cardiff?

We cover the whole UK, including Cardiff. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
