uPVC repair at your home in Cottered
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We regularly repair conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cottered and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.

- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

FAQs for Cottered
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cottered as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
More services for Cottered
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
What affects the price in Cottered
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Most customers in Cottered get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
