What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sciennes. What changes the price is:

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sciennes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sciennes
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 keeps the original. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
