- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Rainhill questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When to call us in Rainhill
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Rainhill. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
