How we handle uPVC repair in Southside
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and people most often call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.

What affects the price in Southside
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your B5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice
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 leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Southside
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work in Southside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southside. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the entire of Birmingham?
Everywhere in the UK, Southside included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southside
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
