About our uPVC repair in Charminster
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When to call us in Charminster
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charminster use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
