When to call us in Witton Gilbert

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Witton Gilbert

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 keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Witton Gilbert

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
