UPVC repair near Kelton Hill

uPVC repair in Kelton Hill without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kelton Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When to call us in Kelton Hill

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kelton Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kelton Hill. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
