Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs

Rumney questions

Do you cover Rumney?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rumney from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rumney use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Common problems we fix in Rumney

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
