How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
uPVC repair in East Melbury, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
East Melbury: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for East Melbury?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
