uPVC repair in Craigton, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

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

Landlord and trade work in Craigton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging 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 to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Craigton

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.

Common reasons people in Craigton contact us include:

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

Questions from Craigton

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Craigton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Craigton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Craigton?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your G52 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
