UPVC repair near Magdalen Laver

uPVC repair at your home in Magdalen Laver

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Magdalen Laver. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

  • Normally one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Magdalen Laver

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
