How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Hartshorne
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Hartshorne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
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. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Hartshorne
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
