What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
uPVC repair in Lower Higham without replacing anything
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We work on doors & door panels, white uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people contact us are damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit

Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
