uPVC Repair in Cotman's Ash
Local uPVC repair for Cotman's Ash: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
uPVC repair in Cotman's Ash 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. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and common reasons people contact us are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cotman's Ash. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Cotman's Ash

- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents

Your questions about uPVC repair in Cotman's Ash
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Cotman's Ash?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Cotman's Ash?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cotman's Ash from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
