How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
There’s 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.

Common problems we fix in Turnchapel
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Turnchapel, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills

Repairing versus replacing in Turnchapel
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
