What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures 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 quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.
What we are called out for in Great Knowley

People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
