About our uPVC repair in Frating
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and doors & door panels, and people most frequently call us about damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Frating as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

- Scratches from ladders and furniture
