Canton: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Canton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover Canton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Canton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Canton
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.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Landlords, agents and businesses in Canton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What else we do in Canton
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. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Canton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Canton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
