- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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 normally cheaper.
How we handle uPVC repair in Longdown
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include damage during building work and chips and dents, across doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longdown as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Longdown
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
