What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When to call us in Terling
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
