Need uPVC repair in Litherland?

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our uPVC repair in Litherland

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Litherland

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, 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.

Litherland: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Sefton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Materials we work on in Litherland

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

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  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

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price
