Trusted uPVC repair in Bush Fair

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We don’t add 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Bush Fair

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

What we’re called out for in Bush Fair

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Bush Fair and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
