What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Margate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
uPVC repair at your home in Margate
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Typical jobs include chips and dents and damage during building work, on conservatory frames, white uPVC and doors & door panels.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Margate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
