How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we are called out for in East Briscoe
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
Landlord and trade work in East Briscoe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Briscoe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in East Briscoe?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

East Briscoe questions
Do you come to East Briscoe?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Briscoe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in East Briscoe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units

- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
