We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we handle uPVC repair in Ilchester

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and people most often call us about damage during building work and chips and dents.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When to call us in Ilchester

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

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

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

FAQs for Ilchester

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does uPVC repair cost in Ilchester?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
