UPVC repair for St Germans homes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

uPVC repair in St Germans, done in place

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and damage during building work, across window frames & sills, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Germans and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

St Germans: your questions answered

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Is there a guarantee?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL12 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so St Germans is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What affects the price in St Germans

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Do you need uPVC repair in St Germans?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in St Germans

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.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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

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