uPVC repair at your home in Ellistown

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and burns on sills, in white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Common questions in Ellistown

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ellistown

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellistown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common problems we fix in Ellistown

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
