How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stainton Grove. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Stainton Grove
- No need to remove anything
