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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- No need to remove anything
- Same prices wherever you are

FAQs for Shortlands
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Shortlands?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shortlands
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Shortlands, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
