UPVC repair for Shotesham homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

uPVC repair in Shotesham without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, across conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Shotesham

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.
