How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Efford
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Efford
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Honest limits

- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Efford
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Efford. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Efford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Efford get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Efford
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
