Trusted uPVC repair in Somercotes

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Somercotes

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Somercotes?

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 leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Somercotes

Do you cover Somercotes?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Somercotes and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
