Medburn questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Medburn?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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, a professional repair is worth it.

- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Medburn
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Common reasons people in Medburn contact us include:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Medburn
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Landlords, agents and businesses in Medburn
Letting agents frequently 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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Medburn. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
