Hilton questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you need uPVC repair in Hilton?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hilton. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
What else we do in Hilton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
