Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Shottle.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from photos?

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shottle. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square

What we’re called out for in Shottle
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Comparing quotes
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Shottle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
