Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Do you need uPVC repair in Play Hatch?

- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Play Hatch. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you’re in Play Hatch and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Play Hatch?
