uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work

- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Scales. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 pictures.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scales. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
