About our uPVC repair in Shittlehope

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you’re dealing with burns on sills and damage during building work, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repair or replace in Shittlehope?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Shittlehope

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Questions from Shittlehope

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