We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Down. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Down. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in East Down get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for East Down
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
