uPVC repair in Downs without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we are called out for in Downs
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Downs. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
See our prices page.
What affects the price in Downs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Questions from Downs
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Downs, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
