UPVC repair for Gislingham homes

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

uPVC repair at your home in Gislingham

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and people most often call us about burns on sills and chips and dents.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Gislingham

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need uPVC repair in Gislingham?

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Gislingham

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
