uPVC repair in and around Ide: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are damage during building work and chips and dents.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Common problems we fix in Ide
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ide use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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 keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

FAQs for Ide
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Ide?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
