Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Mappowder. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
uPVC repair in Mappowder without replacing anything
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on conservatory frames, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
Questions from Mappowder
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mappowder
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mappowder as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Common problems we fix in Mappowder
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
