What affects the price in Friar Waddon
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
uPVC repair in Friar Waddon without replacing anything
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re often asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, in window frames & sills, conservatory frames and white uPVC.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

FAQs for Friar Waddon
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK, and that includes Friar Waddon. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Friar Waddon.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Friar Waddon
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
