What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

About our uPVC repair in Bowes

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our technicians work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowes

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Bowes customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

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

Materials we work on in Bowes

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Bowes and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Bowes

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Common reasons people in Bowes contact us are:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
