uPVC repair in Shawlands without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. 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. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawlands

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in Shawlands

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shawlands. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • White uPVC

Questions from Shawlands

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your G41 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common problems we fix in Shawlands

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
