  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Dunnington

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Dunnington and the rest of York. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Dunnington

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunnington. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
