Trusted uPVC repair in Lake

How we handle uPVC repair in Lake

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on doors & door panels, white uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are damage during building work and chips and dents.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Lake

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills

How to compare quotes

Lake: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Lake

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lake

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

If you are in Lake and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
