What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Alston. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Alston, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Alston
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
