Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Highfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
