Signs you need uPVC repair in Shawforth

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Shawforth

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shawforth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
