Tripwell questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
What else we do in Tripwell
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tripwell
For anyone letting property in or around Tripwell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What affects the price in Tripwell
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Tripwell
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
Read our pricing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Tripwell
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
