Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Misery Corner, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Misery Corner
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Misery Corner?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
