DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we handle uPVC repair in Gogar

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gogar. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Gogar, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Gogar questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Related advice

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 can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Gogar customers choose us
