UPVC repair in Robin Hood

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Robin Hood

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Robin Hood

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Robin Hood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
