Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
