Your questions about uPVC repair in Cann

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Cann is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover Cann?

We do. Technicians travel to Cann from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job.

Repairing versus replacing in Cann

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SP7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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