How we handle uPVC repair in The Knap
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair conservatory frames, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in The Knap
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in The Knap get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
Repair or replace in The Knap?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
