uPVC Repair for Ickleton homes
Scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills in Ickleton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
uPVC repair in Ickleton, done in place
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 holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, we can help, on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ickleton as everywhere else we work. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Advice
Ickleton questions
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.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
