Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle uPVC repair in Aberdovey
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re often asked to fix burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, across conservatory frames, doors & door panels and window frames & sills.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting a price
You don’t 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Aberdovey. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use 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.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Aberdovey
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
