Do you need uPVC repair in Thorndon Cross?
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How many areas need work
The price 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorndon Cross use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Thorndon Cross
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repair or replace in Thorndon Cross?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
