DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Stanhope: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we’re called out for in Stanhope

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

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Stanhope

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
