DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
When to call us in Lea
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Repairing versus replacing in Lea
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Lea questions
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you work in Lea?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Lea from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lea. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach

- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote.
