UPVC repair for Ely homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How we handle uPVC repair in Ely

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s burns on sills and chips and dents, we can help, on conservatory frames, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Ely

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

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

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Common questions in Ely

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ely.

When can you do it?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Ely clients choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • 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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
