Trusted uPVC repair in Lizard

uPVC repair in Lizard, done in place

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, in white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Lizard

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lizard. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Lizard, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Lizard questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Do you cover Lizard?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lizard and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Do you need uPVC repair in Lizard?

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

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Lizard, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
