uPVC repair in Britannia, 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. We work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and common reasons people contact us are burns on sills and chips and dents.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.
What else we do in Britannia
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we’re called out for in Britannia
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
Before booking anyone

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OL13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Britannia questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Britannia. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
