About our uPVC repair in Lower Dunsforth

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Lower Dunsforth questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
