Trusted uPVC repair in Merston

uPVC repair in Merston without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

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.

Questions from Merston

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across West Sussex.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Most customers in Merston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Merston?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Merston

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
