What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Scatsta and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

Scatsta questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover Scatsta?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Scatsta from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Scatsta and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
