UPVC repair in Arinagour

Repair or replace in Arinagour?

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we’re called out for in Arinagour

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

  • Whether they match the colour on site

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Landlord and trade work in Arinagour

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Arinagour. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

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

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Arinagour get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Questions from Arinagour

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
