Shelthorpe questions

Will there be a smell?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are there extra charges for Shelthorpe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

How much does uPVC repair cost in Shelthorpe?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leicestershire.

What happens on the day

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

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 work on in Shelthorpe

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

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
