What we work on

  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Oxfordshire.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

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 will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lower Shiplake, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Shiplake use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
