About our uPVC repair in Clough Dene

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair doors & door panels, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What affects the price in Clough Dene

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Common problems we fix in Clough Dene

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What we can’t put right

  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clough Dene

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clough Dene as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
