uPVC repair in Ellacombe, done in place
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and people most often call us about chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Ellacombe
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Ellacombe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ellacombe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Ellacombe and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
