Repairing versus replacing in Castlehill
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Castlehill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
Questions from Castlehill
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What affects the price in Castlehill
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Castlehill
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.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
What we can’t put right
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
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
