You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Glassonby

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Glassonby?

A new window, door 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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
