UPVC repair near Thorne

uPVC repair in Thorne without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thorne. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorne

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Thorne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Thorne

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Do you need uPVC repair in Thorne?

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

Thorne questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
