About our uPVC repair in Appspond
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can help, on conservatory frames, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Appspond
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
