What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our uPVC repair in Cainscross
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Whether it’s scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, we can help, on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and window frames & sills alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Landlord and trade work in Cainscross
For anyone letting property in or around Cainscross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Signs you need uPVC repair in Cainscross
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Repairing versus replacing in Cainscross
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Cainscross: your questions answered
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.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
