UPVC repair near Tipton St John

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

uPVC repair at your home in Tipton St John

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Common call-outs are for damage during building work and burns on sills, across coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and conservatory frames.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Tipton St John?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why Tipton St John clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

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

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

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