- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.

- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare

Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

About our uPVC repair in Little Common
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We regularly repair doors & door panels, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

When to call us in Little Common
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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 normally the cheaper route.
