How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Fen Ditton. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fen Ditton
For anyone letting property in or around Fen Ditton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Fen Ditton
Your questions about uPVC repair in Fen Ditton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Repairing versus replacing in Fen Ditton
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fen Ditton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
