How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Hele questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you cover Hele?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hele and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Other services in Hele
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hele
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hele use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Hele
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Customers usually contact us about:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
