uPVC repair in Praa Sands without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re frequently asked to fix burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Praa Sands, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Praa Sands

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
