Your questions about uPVC repair in New Herrington
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How much does uPVC repair cost in New Herrington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for New Herrington. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in New Herrington
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 things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
