What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chitty. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Chitty, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Chitty

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
