Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble 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 natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Crabtree

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Crabtree?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Plymouth?

All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlord and trade work in Crabtree

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
