Harrowgate Hill: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harrowgate Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Harrowgate Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
