Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Ripe
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Ripe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Ripe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ripe from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When to call us in Ripe
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
What a repair cannot fix
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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
