Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in High Dubmire

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Dubmire

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about uPVC repair in High Dubmire

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

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

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Common problems we fix in High Dubmire

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in High Dubmire?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why High Dubmire customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our prices page.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DH4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
