Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Austwick and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Austwick

How much does uPVC repair cost in Austwick?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you work in Austwick?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Austwick and the rest of Lancashire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Austwick is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

Landlord and trade work in Austwick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Austwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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 keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
