Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Foston

- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
