Should you replace it?
A new window, door 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. 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.

What affects the price in Great Canfield
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Great Canfield. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Great Canfield questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
