Repairing versus replacing in Thaxted

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Thaxted

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
