UPVC repair for Clifton homes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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 usually cheaper.

About our uPVC repair in Clifton

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Typical jobs include burns on sills and damage during building work, across white uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Common problems we fix in Clifton

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Clifton

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book

FAQs for Clifton

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Clifton?

We do. Technicians travel to Clifton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Clifton

  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
