Advice
Repair or replace in Hicks Forstal?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Hicks Forstal: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Hicks Forstal?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
