Signs you need uPVC repair in Cathays
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
Why repair rather than replace?
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Cathays questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Cathays?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Cathays
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cathays use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
