Your questions about uPVC repair in Fifehead Magdalen
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Fifehead Magdalen?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fifehead Magdalen. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
