FAQs for Pear Tree
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Pear Tree?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Pear Tree. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pear Tree. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pear Tree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 will give you a straight answer.
