UPVC repair near Ince-in-Makerfield

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

uPVC repair at your home in Ince-in-Makerfield

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, in white uPVC, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
