UPVC repair in Kelvinside

uPVC repair in Kelvinside without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We regularly repair doors & door panels, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  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

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work 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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Kelvinside

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Your questions about uPVC repair in Kelvinside

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Are there extra charges for Kelvinside?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Kelvinside

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
