Advice
uPVC repair in Bow, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with chips and dents and damage during building work, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Repairing versus replacing in Bow
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Bow

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bow questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are there extra charges for Bow?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Bow
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
