Common questions in Shield Row
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

- The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
