Trusted uPVC repair in Sandford Orcas

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, 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.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Window frames & sills
  • Doors & door panels
  • Conservatory frames

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
