What affects the price in Shelf
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shelf. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shelf. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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 quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
If you are in Shelf and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Shelf
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. 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 Shelf as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Shelf
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
