How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Swanley
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Swanley included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Swanley?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL13 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we’re called out for in Swanley
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace in Swanley?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swanley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
