About our uPVC repair in Shiphay
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and dents and burns on sills.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Shiphay
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shiphay use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Shiphay

- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
