uPVC window & door repair in Chelmondiston, Suffolk

- Repairs from £95
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
uPVC repair at your home in Chelmondiston
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chelmondiston. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job.

What we’re called out for in Chelmondiston
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repairing versus replacing in Chelmondiston
A new window, door or sill costs far more, 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, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
