Ribby questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?

All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How we handle uPVC repair in Ribby

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair doors & door panels, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need uPVC repair in Ribby?

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.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair is not the answer

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
