What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Quaking Houses. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

FAQs for Quaking Houses
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you come to Quaking Houses?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Quaking Houses. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Quaking Houses
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
