About our uPVC repair in Douglas
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Douglas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Douglas
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Douglas?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Douglas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Common problems we fix in Douglas
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
