How we handle uPVC repair in Swiss Cottage

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Typical jobs include burns on sills and chips and dents, on white uPVC, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swiss Cottage

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swiss Cottage as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Our hiring checklist

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NW3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • 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.

Common questions in Swiss Cottage

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Swiss Cottage is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

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.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
