UPVC repair in Strathmartine

uPVC repair at your home in Strathmartine

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on conservatory frames, white uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people contact us are chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Questions from Strathmartine

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What we’re called out for in Strathmartine

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Strathmartine. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Strathmartine, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Strathmartine

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
