UPVC repair for Thornby homes

Questions from Thornby

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How we handle uPVC repair in Thornby

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you’re dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace in Thornby?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Thornby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Thornby

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
