Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crathes. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crathes

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Crathes

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Crathes

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Clients usually contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
