UPVC repair near Whessoe

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we handle uPVC repair in Whessoe

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with damage during building work and burns on sills, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Whessoe: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you need uPVC repair in Whessoe?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whessoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Whessoe, and we will reply with a fixed price.
