UPVC repair near Gretton

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gretton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common questions in Gretton

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Is there any odour?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What we are called out for in Gretton

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Gretton

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
