What affects the price in Mail
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mail. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
About our uPVC repair in Mail
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No extra charge for your area
- Typically one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page.

- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Mail
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
Comparing quotes
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Mail
Do you work in Mail?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mail for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
