FAQs for Swimbridge

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Swimbridge

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swimbridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Swimbridge

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

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. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price
