The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Ailsworth questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
