uPVC repair in Broughton Cross, done in place

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We regularly repair white uPVC, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Broughton Cross

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Broughton Cross?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA13 postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover Broughton Cross?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Broughton Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours 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. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price
