DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need uPVC repair in Longhirst

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:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Longhirst. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
