About our uPVC repair in Cattawade
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We’re often asked to fix damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, across conservatory frames, doors & door panels and white uPVC.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Advice
What affects the price in Cattawade
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Other services in Cattawade
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need uPVC repair in Cattawade?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents

Repair or replace in Cattawade?
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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
