The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shelton Lock
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need uPVC repair in Shelton Lock?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

- Damage during building work

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Shelton Lock and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Shelton Lock: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you come to Shelton Lock?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shelton Lock from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
