Repair or replace in Tonwell?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tonwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

FAQs for Tonwell

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How soon can you come?

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

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are there extra charges for Tonwell?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to Tonwell?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Tonwell and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
