How we handle uPVC repair in Thornton

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people contact us are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, 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

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

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Thornton clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornton. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
