Before and after: a chipped white edge filled and refinished

Tideswell: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

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.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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.

Advice

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tideswell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Tideswell clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

Read our pricing.

What affects the price in Tideswell

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tideswell

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Tideswell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Tideswell

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
