Common questions in Chells
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Chells included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Chells?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chells. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chells
If you manage property in Chells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chells. The price depends on:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
What we’re called out for in Chells
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- 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
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
