UPVC repair near Lawford

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

About our uPVC repair in Lawford

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are burns on sills and damage during building work.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

When to call us in Lawford

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.

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lawford, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lawford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
