What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures 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 quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Melbourn
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
