DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Oare
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
When to call us in Oare
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairing versus replacing in Oare
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oare. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
