Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Bradwell

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bradwell

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, 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 repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bradwell

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

Common questions in Bradwell

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
