How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
