uPVC repair in Basford, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

FAQs for Basford
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Basford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do you cover Basford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Basford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Do you need uPVC repair in Basford?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
