UPVC repair in Tickenham

uPVC repair in Tickenham without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Tickenham

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you cover the whole of North Somerset?

Everywhere in the UK, Tickenham included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

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

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Tickenham

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tickenham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Tickenham

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Tickenham

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
