Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Shawfair. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shawfair. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Shawfair get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Shawfair

- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work

Shawfair questions
Do you cover Shawfair?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shawfair for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Shawfair?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
