DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Hinksey Hill
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hinksey Hill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
