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 fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need uPVC repair in Chelmsford?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills

Repair or replace in Chelmsford?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chelmsford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chelmsford use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

Advice
Chelmsford: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
