About our uPVC repair in Earcroft
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Earcroft
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
