Repair or replace in Histon?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Histon
Do you work in Histon?
We do. We send a technician to Histon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Histon?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Histon and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Histon
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
