How uPVC repair works in North Ayrshire

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for burns on sills and damage during building work, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Landmarks near Irvine

We visit homes around Irvine, Greenwood Academy and Irvine Royal Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Irvine station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include The Vennel Gallery (0.7 miles south-west) and Ayrshire Central Hospital (1.3 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Stevenston Loch.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place.

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How the damage happens

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
