Repairing versus replacing in Freethorpe
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

About our uPVC repair in Freethorpe
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are often asked to fix chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and white uPVC.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Freethorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
Most clients in Freethorpe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
