- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Silecroft questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Silecroft?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
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. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Silecroft
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Silecroft. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
