  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Common questions in Shingay

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.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cambridgeshire.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shingay. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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