How we handle uPVC repair in Burthorpe
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair conservatory frames, window frames & sills and white uPVC, and common reasons people contact us are burns on sills and damage during building work.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burthorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Burthorpe
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.
Common reasons people in Burthorpe contact us are:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Burthorpe
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not 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 reply with a fixed quote.
