About our uPVC repair in Findern
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Findern and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Findern
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Findern is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Findern?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Landlord and trade work in Findern
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Findern?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Findern. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
