uPVC repair in Skinflats without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Skinflats questions
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Skinflats?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. 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 kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
