Trusted uPVC repair in Gare Hill

uPVC repair in Gare Hill without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, across window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gare Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Gare Hill

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Gare Hill

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
