Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gayfield. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
