Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Pathhead. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from Pathhead
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Pathhead is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
