We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about uPVC repair in Rook End
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Rook End?
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 CB11 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rook End use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
