Repairing versus replacing in Tan-y-foel

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Common questions in Tan-y-foel

Do you cover Tan-y-foel?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tan-y-foel and the rest of Gwynedd. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Tan-y-foel and the rest of Gwynedd. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What information do you need?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What affects the price in Tan-y-foel

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most clients in Tan-y-foel get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Tan-y-foel

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tan-y-foel

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

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