uPVC Repair for Ugley homes
We travel to Ugley for scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle uPVC repair in Ugley
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, on doors & door panels, white uPVC and conservatory frames.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
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.
Questions from Ugley
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
