Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need uPVC repair in Arkesden?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Arkesden. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Arkesden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
