Repairing versus replacing in West Cliff

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally 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. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need uPVC repair in West Cliff

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in West Cliff

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Cliff

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
