How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ouston. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Common problems we fix in Ouston
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Common reasons people in Ouston contact us are:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Ouston
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
