How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  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. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Elmstead Market questions

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

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

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK, so Elmstead Market is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Elmstead Market?

We do. We send a technician to Elmstead Market for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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