How we handle uPVC repair in Gimingham

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, we can generally put it right, on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and doors & door panels alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gimingham. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

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

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
