DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
uPVC repair in Glais, done in place
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Whether it’s damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Repair or replace in Glais?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Glais
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
