UPVC repair for Shotley Grove homes

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Shotley Grove: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do you cover Shotley Grove?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Shotley Grove from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shotley Grove. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
