Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
uPVC repair in Chickerell, done in place
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We work on conservatory frames, doors & door panels and window frames & sills, and common reasons people contact us are burns on sills and damage during building work.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?

Repairing versus replacing in Chickerell
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
