Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
uPVC repair in Shiney Row, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people contact us are burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shiney Row. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Shiney Row
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare

How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Shiney Row
Does someone need to be in?
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?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
