Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Goldenacre

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Goldenacre. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Goldenacre customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Goldenacre

How much does uPVC repair cost in Goldenacre?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Goldenacre. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
