UPVC repair in Idle

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

About our uPVC repair in Idle

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and damage during building work, on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, 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.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Idle?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

What we are called out for in Idle

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.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Idle

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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