DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Heathgates
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Do you need uPVC repair in Heathgates?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
