DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
uPVC repair at your home in Great Oakley
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are often asked to fix damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and doors & door panels.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Oakley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Oakley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Great Oakley: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Great Oakley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Oakley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
