Book uPVC repair in Thornhaugh

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

uPVC repair at your home in Thornhaugh

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and burns on sills, in doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

What we are called out for in Thornhaugh

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

Questions from Thornhaugh

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
