Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about uPVC repair in Ellel

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Ellel get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Ellel

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

Do you need uPVC repair in Ellel?

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
