UPVC repair near New Town

About our uPVC repair in New Town

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including New Town. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in New Town

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Questions from New Town

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for New Town?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover New Town?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to New Town from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Repairing versus replacing in New Town

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your photos
