Repairing versus replacing in Derriton

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. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Derriton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally 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, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  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

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Derriton: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

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

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
