Skelsmergh questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Skelsmergh?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
uPVC repair in Skelsmergh without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on conservatory frames, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Skelsmergh
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelsmergh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What else we do in Skelsmergh
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
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.
