DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we handle uPVC repair in Escomb

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and people most often call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Escomb and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

How we price uPVC repair

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Escomb, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

FAQs for Escomb

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before booking.

Do you need uPVC repair in Escomb?

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

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 keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
