Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SS16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Vange as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Vange, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Do you need uPVC repair in Vange?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Repair or replace in Vange?
Replacing the frame 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
