When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Shirwell?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

FAQs for Shirwell

Do you come to Shirwell?

We do. We send a technician to Shirwell for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Common problems we fix in Shirwell

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirwell

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
