Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
uPVC repair in Housham Tye, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you are dealing with chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can usually put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Housham Tye. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Housham Tye
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Housham Tye?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Housham Tye and the rest of Essex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
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.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
