Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

How many items we do on one visit
How much damage there is
Any earlier repairs that need removing first
How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Your postcode, so we can check dates
A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your OL2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Thornham

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Common problems we fix in Thornham

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
