Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Hoswick

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

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Hoswick

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hoswick. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Hoswick

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does uPVC repair cost in Hoswick?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Are there extra charges for Hoswick?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
