Common questions in Minterne Magna

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Minterne Magna

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Minterne Magna, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
