DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Norcot. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norcot use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Norcot, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
