Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
