UPVC repair near Gattonside

Do you need uPVC repair in Gattonside?

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Gattonside questions

Do the materials smell?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for Gattonside?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

How much does uPVC repair cost in Gattonside?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

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

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Gattonside

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
