DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thorpe Common. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

On the day, 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 few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

Questions from Thorpe Common

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Common problems we fix in Thorpe Common

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Common

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
