Book uPVC repair in Zelah

Repair or replace in Zelah?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Zelah

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

uPVC repair in Zelah without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We’re often asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, in white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Zelah and across Cornwall. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Zelah

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 these signs:

  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Zelah, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
