DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Shafton
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shafton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Signs you need uPVC repair in Shafton
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Before you book anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
Repair or replace in Shafton?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
