DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
uPVC repair in Hillend without replacing anything
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are often asked to fix damage during building work and chips and dents, in white uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Hillend
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hillend, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Hillend
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Hillend
- Same prices wherever you are
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Read our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
