UPVC repair for Dimson homes

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

uPVC repair in Dimson, done in place

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, in window frames & sills, conservatory frames and white uPVC.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Dimson questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you work in Dimson?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dimson from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Dimson and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dimson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Dimson, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
