How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Castle Hedingham. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Castle Hedingham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Questions from Castle Hedingham

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Castle Hedingham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Castle Hedingham

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
