How we handle uPVC repair in The Herberts
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are often asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, across conservatory frames, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Landlord and trade work in The Herberts
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Herberts use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF71 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
The Herberts: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Herberts. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in The Herberts and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why choose Surface Doctor in The Herberts
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
