Repair or replace in Cottam?

Questions from Cottam

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Are there extra charges for Cottam?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work in Cottam?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Cottam from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Common problems we fix in Cottam

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.

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

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cottam. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cottam. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Cottam get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
