DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square

Advice
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole window, door or sill, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
