Blackhill: your questions answered
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Blackhill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Blackhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Blackhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
