uPVC repair at your home in Outer Hope

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on conservatory frames, doors & door panels and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Outer Hope. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • 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 entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Outer Hope

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Outer Hope

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you come to Outer Hope?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Outer Hope from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Outer Hope. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
