What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • 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, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for Hellingly

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
