Book uPVC repair in Fritchley

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

uPVC repair in Fritchley without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, across doors & door panels, conservatory frames and window frames & sills.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Fritchley

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Fritchley?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

If you are in Fritchley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
