Can I fix it myself?

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 normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Great Amwell?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Great Amwell

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Great Amwell

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Great Amwell included. There is no extra charge for travel.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Great Amwell

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

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Great Amwell

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
