How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Lexden. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle uPVC repair in Lexden
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture

Repairing versus replacing in Lexden
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
