Repairing versus replacing in Alltwen
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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Alltwen
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alltwen. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Alltwen and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
