UPVC repair for Smeaton homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

uPVC repair in Smeaton without replacing anything

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Smeaton. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Smeaton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Smeaton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
