DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
About our uPVC repair in Sanderstead
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is

Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Sanderstead
Are there extra charges for Sanderstead?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Sanderstead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sanderstead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
