Landlord and trade work in Gilcrux
If you manage property in Gilcrux, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
About our uPVC repair in Gilcrux
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and damage during building work, in conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Advice

Also in Gilcrux
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the whole UK

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
