Should you replace it?
A new window, door 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

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.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Shortwood
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Shortwood
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Shortwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shortwood and the rest of South Gloucestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
