Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Repairing versus replacing in St Nicholas

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Nicholas. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
