Royal Oak questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DL2 postcode.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Royal Oak. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Royal Oak. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

Repairing versus replacing in Royal Oak
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Royal Oak
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
