How we handle uPVC repair in Mells
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s damage during building work and chips and dents, we can normally put it right, on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Mells. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need uPVC repair in Mells
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Questions from Mells
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

What else we do in Mells
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Mells, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
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. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
