How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door 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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
