Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

uPVC repair at your home in Ilminster
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re frequently asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, across white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Ilminster
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ilminster. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units

- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
