uPVC repair at your home in Swaythling
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
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 you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Swaythling. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
