uPVC repair in Ashburton, done in place
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you’re dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ashburton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashburton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Ashburton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
