DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
uPVC repair at your home in Howe
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with damage during building work and burns on sills, we can normally put it right, on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Howe questions
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
