Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When to call us in Saffron Walden
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How to look after the finish
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Saffron Walden
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
