How we handle uPVC repair in Shortstown
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Shortstown
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shortstown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

Shortstown questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
