How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Howwood
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Common reasons people in Howwood contact us are:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Howwood
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Howwood
Do you work in Howwood?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Howwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Landlord and trade work in Howwood
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Howwood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For a price in Howwood, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
