How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Sandon: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sandon included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Sandon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, 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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need uPVC repair in Sandon?

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
