Materials we repair
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
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. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillswick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
What we’re called out for in Hillswick
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills

Your questions about uPVC repair in Hillswick
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hillswick. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
