How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Thurlstone. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

When to call us in Thurlstone

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thurlstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
