Your questions about uPVC repair in Charles
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you need uPVC repair in Charles?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Charles. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
