UPVC repair near Summerhouse

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

uPVC repair in Summerhouse, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and common reasons people contact us are chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Summerhouse and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price uPVC repair

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

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we’re called out for in Summerhouse

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Summerhouse questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

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

Do you come to Summerhouse?

We do. We send a technician to Summerhouse for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  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
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
