Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowbiggin
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dowbiggin as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
uPVC repair in Dowbiggin, done in place
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We regularly repair conservatory frames, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about damage during building work and chips and dents.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Do you need uPVC repair in Dowbiggin?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Dowbiggin
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
