Signs you need uPVC repair in Spott

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

  • Conservatory frames
  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Spott. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Spott

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.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Spott?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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 photos and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Spott

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spott as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
