How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Startop's End. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Startop's End
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Startop's End?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
