UPVC repair in Tiptree

How we handle uPVC repair in Tiptree

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tiptree

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tiptree use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we are called out for in Tiptree

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Questions from Tiptree

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Tiptree?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tiptree, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
