UPVC repair for Helford Passage homes

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Helford Passage and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

FAQs for Helford Passage

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

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. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Helford Passage clients choose us

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
