uPVC repair in Colchester without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Typical jobs include damage during building work and chips and dents, across coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

Our work in Colchester
Colchester is in Essex. Our work suits any type of property, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Colchester is one of 644 towns and villages in Essex where we work. We work right across the region, from Colchester to London (50 miles away).
Every address in CO4, CO3, CO2 and CO1 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include High Street, North Station Road and Durham Square, all of which we cover. Colchester sits on or near the A12 and A120, which makes travel easy. We also cover the places around Colchester: Camulodunum (1 mile west), Braiswick (1 mile west), Abbey Field (1 mile south), Lexden (1 mile west) and Beacon End (3 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Braintree (14 miles west), Clacton-on-Sea (12 miles south-east), Maldon (15 miles south-west), Witham (13 miles south-west), Halstead (12 miles west) and Heybridge (14 miles south-west). Colchester is one of the larger places we cover in Essex.
Local landmarks in Colchester
We visit homes around Church of St Peter, Bull Meadow and The Bay And Say Public House and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include Colchester Sixth Form College (under half a mile north-west) and St John's Green Primary School (within half a mile south). There is a railway station in Colchester itself: Colchester Town station. Further afield, we also cover the area around Lion Walk (under half a mile south-east) and Essex County Hospital (under half a mile south-west). Green spaces nearby include Westhouse Wood.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Colchester questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colchester as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- 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
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Colchester, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
