Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
uPVC repair in Thwing without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair white uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels, and people most frequently call us about chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Thwing and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Thwing
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Thwing?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Thwing, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thwing use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
