Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common problems we fix in Stainton

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
