About our uPVC repair in Mackerye End

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you’re dealing with burns on sills and damage during building work, we can usually put it right, on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Questions from Mackerye End

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mackerye End, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
