Your questions about uPVC repair in Thetford
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Thetford?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thetford
If you manage property in Thetford, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Do you need uPVC repair in Thetford?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before booking

- If travel is included in the price

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Thetford. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
