Trusted uPVC repair in Frating Green

Can I fix it myself?

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

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 pictures.

uPVC repair in Frating Green without replacing anything

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Frating Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

How to compare quotes

Your questions about uPVC repair in Frating Green

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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 leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
