When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Chesterford

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Little Chesterford

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Little Chesterford

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Little Chesterford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Little Chesterford and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
