DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in Birkenshaw
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
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 leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
