DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about uPVC repair in St Ives
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
