About our uPVC repair in Font-y-gary

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you’re dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Font-y-gary, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally 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. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start 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 are paying for.

Common questions in Font-y-gary

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Across the UK, so Font-y-gary is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Font-y-gary

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
