uPVC repair in The Raikes without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We work on conservatory frames, window frames & sills and doors & door panels, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Raikes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Rooms protected and left tidy

- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare

Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in The Raikes
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
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. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
