About our uPVC repair in Hempstead
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you’re dealing with damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can generally put it right, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
