What affects the price in Crankwood

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

uPVC repair at your home in Crankwood

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on doors & door panels, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Questions from Crankwood

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crankwood

If you manage property in Crankwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Crankwood

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:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
