Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 pictures.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rattar use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Most clients in Rattar get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Rattar questions
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW14 postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
