DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Unthank

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Unthank

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Unthank. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Why repair rather than replace?

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 leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Questions from Unthank

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.
