UPVC repair for Vassa homes

How we handle uPVC repair in Vassa

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, across white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Vassa. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Vassa: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Repairing versus replacing in Vassa

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, 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. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
