FAQs for Tang

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Tang included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

uPVC repair at your home in Tang

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair doors & door panels, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and people most frequently call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Tang?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Tang

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tang

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tang use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Tang

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

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