Repairing versus replacing in Datchworth

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Datchworth. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Datchworth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
