uPVC repair in Cove without replacing anything
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We regularly repair window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people contact us are burns on sills and damage during building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

FAQs for Cove
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Repairing versus replacing in Cove
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
