DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in St Helen's
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

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

Instead of hourly rates, 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.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
