Your questions about uPVC repair in Long Eaton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does uPVC repair cost in Long Eaton?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NG10 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Long Eaton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in Long Eaton

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
