UPVC repair in Scatness

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle uPVC repair in Scatness

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are often asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Scatness

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Scatness

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
