What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your E18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our uPVC repair in Snaresbrook

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Snaresbrook use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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.

Snaresbrook: your questions answered

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it 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.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
