  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How we price uPVC repair

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Tankerton: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tankerton.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Common problems we fix in Tankerton

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Tankerton

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
