What a repair can’t fix

- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

- White uPVC

- Conservatory frames
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Hawthorn
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
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 leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
