How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Close House?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Rooms protected and left tidy

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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
