Your questions about uPVC repair in Cattedown
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Cattedown
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Cattedown get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cattedown
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Cattedown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
