Catslip: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work in Catslip?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Catslip and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Catslip?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
uPVC repair in Catslip, done in place

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Catslip get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Catslip
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need uPVC repair in Catslip?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Catslip
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
