uPVC repair at your home in Barrow Hill

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are often asked to fix chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and conservatory frames.

You are covered after we leave: 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. Do not use solvents or scourers.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barrow Hill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in Barrow Hill?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.
