uPVC repair in South Hinksey without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are often asked to fix chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

South Hinksey: your questions answered
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you come to South Hinksey?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to South Hinksey. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including South Hinksey and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What else we do in South Hinksey
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Take a look at our full price list.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including South Hinksey. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
For a price in South Hinksey, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
