10 questions to ask before booking

uPVC repair in Ipsden without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and people most frequently call us about damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.

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. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

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, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Ipsden questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Oxfordshire.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

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