Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
uPVC repair in Smelthouses without replacing anything
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What else we do in Smelthouses
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Smelthouses. The price reflects:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Smelthouses get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Smelthouses
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlord and trade work in Smelthouses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
