UPVC repair near Cawthorne

uPVC repair at your home in Cawthorne

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Barnsley and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Cawthorne, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
