UPVC repair for Snelston homes

uPVC repair in Snelston, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on conservatory frames, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Questions from Snelston

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Snelston

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job.

When we’d advise against a repair

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
