Why repair rather than replace?
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 keeps the original. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Hollow Street
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Hollow Street. Prices don’t change with location.
