uPVC repair in Jacobstowe without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, we can help, on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

When to call us in Jacobstowe
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.
What affects the price in Jacobstowe
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
