UPVC repair in Dimple

uPVC repair in Dimple without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Do you need uPVC repair in Dimple?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dimple use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Dimple: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
