Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle uPVC repair in Aberthin
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you’re dealing with damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Aberthin, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Aberthin
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
