Should you replace it?
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in Rhu
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Rhu?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you cover Rhu?
We do. We send a technician to Rhu for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhu
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rhu as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Rhu
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
