UPVC repair for St Ive homes

How we handle uPVC repair in St Ive

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before you book

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

St Ive: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can you do it?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so St Ive is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
