Common questions in Balmacara
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Balmacara. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Balmacara, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Balmacara
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Balmacara
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
