UPVC repair in Cotmanhay

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos

uPVC repair in Cotmanhay without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you’re dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotmanhay. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Cotmanhay, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
