Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle uPVC repair in Fotherby
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
