UPVC repair for Portincaple homes

uPVC repair in Portincaple, done in place

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, we can typically put it right.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door 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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Portincaple customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Portincaple: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Portincaple included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Portincaple

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Portincaple

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
