- How many areas need work

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

- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
uPVC repair at your home in Sowhill
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included.

- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Sowhill
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sowhill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
