Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

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

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Van

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the entire of Caerphilly?

We cover the entire UK, including Van and the rest of Caerphilly. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Caerphilly.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

When to call us in Van

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Van

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

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 price the job.
