DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Carnhot

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Carnhot?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carnhot. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Repairing versus replacing in Carnhot

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

How to compare quotes

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
