If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

uPVC repair in Gawthorpe, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include burns on sills and damage during building work, across coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gawthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gawthorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gawthorpe

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we are called out for in Gawthorpe

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
