DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our uPVC repair in New Barn
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and people most frequently call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Your questions about uPVC repair in New Barn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What we’re called out for in New Barn
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you are in New Barn and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairing versus replacing in New Barn
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
