How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rathven. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Rathven

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Your questions about uPVC repair in Rathven

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the whole of Moray?

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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