When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Shaftesbury
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaftesbury as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
