- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Boswall. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Boswall
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Boswall
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Boswall
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
