What affects the price in Old Bilton
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How we handle uPVC repair in Old Bilton
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Old Bilton
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
