UPVC repair near Donisthorpe

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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 handle uPVC repair in Donisthorpe

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with damage during building work and burns on sills, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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

Should you replace it?

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donisthorpe

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Donisthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Donisthorpe

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Donisthorpe. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. 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.

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