Trusted uPVC repair in Flimby

How we handle uPVC repair in Flimby

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are often asked to fix chips and dents and burns on sills, on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and white uPVC.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Flimby

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Flimby

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
