DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 won’t last.
About our uPVC repair in Newlands
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Typical jobs include burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and white uPVC.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Newlands
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newlands. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Newlands
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
For a price in Newlands, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
