How to compare quotes

Questions from Firth

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Firth. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Firth

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Firth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
