Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

uPVC repair in Pickletillum without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels

- White uPVC
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Pickletillum
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended

Advice
Your questions about uPVC repair in Pickletillum
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

We do. We send a technician to Pickletillum for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pickletillum. Prices don’t change with location.
