uPVC repair in Thorney without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We’re frequently asked to fix burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Thorney

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Thorney get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorney

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Thorney questions

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Thorney?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
