How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What affects the price in Snape

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

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

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Snape and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Snape, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Snape

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
