Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
uPVC repair in Grays, done in place
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are often asked to fix damage during building work and burns on sills, across white uPVC, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grays. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Grays and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grays use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common questions in Grays

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
