UPVC repair near Thornton

uPVC repair in Thornton, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

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

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Thornton. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

For a price in Thornton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
