Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Chigwell Row

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Chigwell Row questions

How much does uPVC repair cost in Chigwell Row?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are there extra charges for Chigwell Row?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Chigwell Row, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
