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 keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Seaton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What affects the price in Seaton

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, 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’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Seaton: your questions answered

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
