The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Ramshaw

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you cover Ramshaw?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Ramshaw from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DL14 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What a repair can’t fix

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. 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.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ramshaw. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ramshaw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
