- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

What we’re called out for in Dorcan
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Dorcan
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dorcan
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
