UPVC repair for Shottenden homes

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shottenden. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shottenden, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

uPVC repair in Shottenden, done in place

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Shottenden

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

Questions from Shottenden

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

Do you need uPVC repair in Shottenden?

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
