When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

How to prepare

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for The Wisp

Is my repair covered?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are there extra charges for The Wisp?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

A new window, door 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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
