What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Esh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Questions from Esh

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you come to Esh?

We do. We send a technician to Esh for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Esh

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
