DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Shropshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hints. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Hints?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Hints
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
How do I book?
