UPVC repair in Duton Hill

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

About our uPVC repair in Duton Hill

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Duton Hill

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

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Duton Hill. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
