Questions from Shiplake

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RG9 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?

We work UK-wide, so Shiplake is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When to call us in Shiplake

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Shiplake?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Shiplake customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
