What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
