UPVC repair near Lye Hole

About our uPVC repair in Lye Hole

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair doors & door panels, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Lye Hole

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bath and North East Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Common problems we fix in Lye Hole

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.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work

Your questions about uPVC repair in Lye Hole

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
