How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elphinstone. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Elphinstone

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Elphinstone. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Doors & door panels
  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Elphinstone

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
