Need uPVC repair in Shimpling?

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shimpling. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Shimpling

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Shimpling

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Shimpling

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.

Common reasons people in Shimpling contact us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

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

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
