When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

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

About our uPVC repair in Austerlands

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are frequently asked to fix chips and dents and damage during building work, on conservatory frames, white uPVC and window frames & sills.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Austerlands

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Austerlands

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Austerlands

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
