  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle uPVC repair in California

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about chips and dents and damage during building work.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What affects the price in California

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to California. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Common questions in California

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Are there extra charges for California?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

If you are in California and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why California customers choose us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in California, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
