Budds questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.

Common problems we fix in Budds
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairing versus replacing in Budds
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
