Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle uPVC repair in Tapnage
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Common call-outs are for damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on white uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Tapnage. The price reflects:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
