We travel to Grains Bar for scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Grains Bar
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Conservatory frames

Grains Bar questions
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Grains Bar?
We do. We send a technician to Grains Bar for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
