uPVC repair at your home in Swindon
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Typical jobs include damage during building work and burns on sills, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and window frames & sills.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.
When to call us in Swindon
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.
Swindon: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you work in Swindon?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Swindon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Swindon
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once

- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
