About our uPVC repair in Clate
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and white uPVC, and common reasons people contact us are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Clate. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Clate, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
