Common questions in The Dings
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to The Dings?
We do. We send a technician to The Dings for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.
What we’re called out for in The Dings
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
