UPVC repair for Cropston homes

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 generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

About our uPVC repair in Cropston

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, in conservatory frames, white uPVC and window frames & sills.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repairing versus replacing in Cropston

Replacing the frame 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. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Cropston clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Your questions about uPVC repair in Cropston

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cropston

What affects the price in Cropston

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cropston. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
