Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Braichmelyn

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.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Braichmelyn

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
