FAQs for Shipton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Shipton
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shipton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
