UPVC repair in Rawreth

About our uPVC repair in Rawreth

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Whether it’s chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can help, on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rawreth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Questions from Rawreth

Is there any odour?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Essex.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Rawreth

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
