Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Hartest
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hartest, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
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. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price 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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
