Need uPVC repair in Stirches?

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

About our uPVC repair in Stirches

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you are dealing with chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Stirches

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover Stirches?

We do. Technicians travel to Stirches from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stirches. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
