Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Shortacross
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
See our prices page.

- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
