What affects the price in Clifton
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
uPVC repair in Clifton without replacing anything
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

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 leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
