How we handle uPVC repair in Ardminish
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Typical jobs include chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ardminish. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA41 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Ardminish
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardminish as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
