DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

About our uPVC repair in St James

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 regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

St James questions

Do you cover the entire of Norfolk?

Everywhere in the UK, St James included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

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

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover St James?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St James for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repairing versus replacing in St James

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why St James clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

Common problems we fix in St James

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:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
