About our uPVC repair in Rowell

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We regularly repair conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Rowell?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start 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. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Rowell

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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