UPVC repair for Shelvin homes

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

About our uPVC repair in Shelvin

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Typical jobs include scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Shelvin: your questions answered

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing typically 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 pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelvin as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Do you need uPVC repair in Shelvin?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Shelvin?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
