What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our uPVC repair in Illston on the Hill

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, in doors & door panels, window frames & sills and white uPVC.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Common questions in Illston on the Hill

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Are there extra charges for Illston on the Hill?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
