Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Sandhead

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Sandhead?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG9 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace in Sandhead?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Doors & door panels
  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandhead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
