UPVC repair for Chorlton homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

uPVC repair in Chorlton without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s chips and dents and burns on sills, we can help, on conservatory frames, white uPVC and doors & door panels alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chorlton and across Cheshire East. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Chorlton questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Chorlton.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
