Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rufforth
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we’re called out for in Rufforth

Customers generally contact us about:
- Burns on sills

- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
