The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
