UPVC repair for Draethen homes

About our uPVC repair in Draethen

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Your questions about uPVC repair in Draethen

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Newport.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Draethen?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

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

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Draethen

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
