Common problems we fix in Ripley
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Ripley
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Ripley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ripley, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Ripley?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
