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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawhead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Shawhead
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs

Shawhead questions
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
