uPVC repair at your home in Poolstock
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Typical jobs include holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, in conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Poolstock
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Before you book anyone
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poolstock use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Poolstock, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common questions in Poolstock
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Repair or replace in Poolstock?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Poolstock
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
