What affects the price in Melkinthorpe
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need uPVC repair in Melkinthorpe
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
