uPVC repair at your home in Gilstead
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on conservatory frames, doors & door panels and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and damage during building work.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilstead
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
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 you will get a fixed figure back.
