Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Forton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Are there extra charges for Forton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Forton?
We do. We send a technician to Forton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Forton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
