DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about uPVC repair in Swalecliffe

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Swalecliffe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swalecliffe and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
