Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Do you need uPVC repair in Newhaven?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newhaven

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Newhaven, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newhaven use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

FAQs for Newhaven

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
