What affects the price in Shanklin
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match

- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode

Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we’re called out for in Shanklin
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
